This is a time for choosing by all lawyers.
We must decide whether to stand up against fascism or to oppose it. S&C's leaders made the wrong choice (as I discussed below); Covington has made the right choice (and deserves strong support for doing so).

The sparse news coverage that exists of the Billionaire's Coup is, frankly, incomprehensible to a lay audience. "Treasury payment system" is meaningless jargon to most people. Tell people in plain language "Here is what Trump and Musk are doing, and here is how it affects Americans."

“Elon Musk, who isn’t elected, is shutting down entire federal agencies in the middle of the night. He has taken control of the government’s money and usurped Congress. This shreds the Constitution, and is effectively a coup.”
That wasn’t so hard after all, was it?

Democratic Whip Katharine Clark got it exactly right: “Donald Trump just slapped a major tax on every person and business in America. Families will pay hundreds more at the grocery store and the gas pump. Everything from cars to kitchen appliances will skyrocket in price.” She’s got it!

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Could not agree with this more. Do not give in to the malignant normality no matter how many others accept it.
Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.
